Ideal Applications
The DLD 320 is ideal for digital print shops and label producers who need fast, precise finishing without traditional die-cut tooling. It is especially well-suited for short-run and custom label jobs, variable-data designs, prototypes, and on-demand production, where knife cutting offers flexibility and zero tooling cost. The machine’s ability to handle slitting, waste removal, and rewinding makes it a strong fit for cosmetics, food and beverage, industrial, craft, retail, and promotional label applications where versatility and accuracy are essential.
Operational Advantages
The DLD 320 ensures efficient daily operation through its intuitive HMI control system, vacuum cutting bed, and automated web guiding. The air-expandable core chucks make reel loading simple, while the matrix removal and slitting assemblies operate cleanly once set, requiring no further adjustment. The optional four-head cutter station significantly enhances processing speed, and the dual-shaft rewinder offers flexibility for various core diameters. Together, these features create a robust and dependable finishing workflow that minimizes operator effort while delivering consistently high-quality results.
